China abolishes yuan-dollar peg, adopts floating rate

In a long-awaited but unexpected move, China yesterday announced that its currency will no longer be pegged to the US dollar.

China scrapped the yuan's peg to the U.S. dollar on July 21, 2005, and the rate will be made in reference to a basket of currencies, the central bank said, the first steps in highly anticipated reforms aimed at letting the currency float freely.[Reuters]

From now on the renminbi, or yuan's, exchange rate will be made in reference to a basket of currencies, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said, adding that it marked the introduction of "a more flexible mechanism for the exchange rate's formation."

The central bank did not specify what currencies would be in the basket.

The central bank strengthened the exchange rate of the renminbi to 8.11 to the dollar, up from 8.28, where it had been fixed for years, it said in a surprise announcement on the State television evening news.

The change amounts to a 2 per cent appreciation of the renminbi.

The reform is "in the interests of the country's long-term, fundamental interests," the central bank said in a separate statement.

Pursuing a more flexible, market-based foreign exchange system has been on the agenda for the country's economic reform.
